do kids today know about homestuck pixel families ,
alright here’s some tumblr lore:
Back In The Day™ when Homestuck was in its prime on tumblr, there was a popular pixel artist called feastings. They made massive amounts of edits of Homestuck characters as cute little pixels in a variety of different outfits
These spread like wildfire in the Homestuck fandom, and we all started making “pixel families”, where we’d assign a friend/mutual as one of these characters, put the pixel(s) in our descriptions or on a blog page, and then link the image to the person’s blog. It was also fun to use hover text to describe which of our friends was Which character. or maybe a silly anecdote or two
These pixels became so popular that you’d be VERY hard pressed to find a Homestuck who hadn’t seen one before. And then, they became popular even OUTSIDE of Homestuck, because people would take the pixels and use them as a base to make edits of other characters
And That’s The Story! and now I get to feel old as balls TwT
